The cookie npm package simplifies HTTP cookie handling in Node.js. It provides utilities for parsing, serializing, and managing cookies received in HTTP requests and sent in HTTP responses. With cookie, you can easily extract cookie values, set new cookies, and control attributes like expiration, path, and security flags. It streamlines cookie interactions within web applications and simplifies tasks like session management and user authentication. The library's straightforward API makes it convenient for both small and large projects requiring robust cookie functionality.
The cookie npm package exhibits irregular release frequency. Initial development (2012-2016) saw bursts of releases, followed by long periods of inactivity. Releases picked up slightly from 2019-2024 with occasional versions. October and November of 2024 are the most recent releases. Overall, releases are infrequent and inconsistent.
Cookie's npm package downloads show a strong upward trend from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking in July 2025. However, September 2025 downloads are significantly lower, likely due to incomplete data as the month is still in progress.
